what causes a rock to break into many layers. DOES WATER
Gaps in rock layers are called unconformities.
Gaps in rock layers that develop when agents of erosion remove existing rock layers are known as unconformities.
They are called uncomformities.

Gaps in the fossil record/ rock layers because of erosion in the soil.
Compressive stress causes the "crumpling" and folding of rock layers.
Earthquakes
Rock layers can be uplifted by tectonic forces, such as the movement of tectonic plates converging, diverging, or sliding past each other. This can create pressure, folding, and faulting in the crust, causing rocks to uplift. Erosion can also remove overlying material, exposing deeper rock layers and causing uplift.
It is an earthquake.
